Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

323g for a dainty size sounds like a bit of a boat anchor - my clog comment on Bazo's blog was supposed to be a joke but now I'm not so sure! There much be room for quite a saving there. I see pretty much everyone else here also does the "occasional run and race" thing with lightweight shoes which seems like the obvious approach.

I might need to ask Santa for some lightweights but I'd be nervous running that far on tarmac in anything other than familiar training shoes. But I guess if I don't try I'll not know what the difference feels like.

What size are you Baz? That's not that heavy.

I weighed my shoes for comparison, size 41/42:

Tempo boost: 230g
Boston boost: 222g
Kinvara: 201g
Vaporfly: 188g

So there's a bit to save but not actually that much...
